Re: Video Elephant Ltd. v. Blake Broadcasting LLC, Case No. 21-cv-0503 (VSB)
Dear Judge Broderick, We are counsel for Plaintiff Video Elephant Ltd. (“Plaintiff”). We write concerning the Court's scheduling of a telephone conference for July 22, 2021, at 3:00 p.m. (See ECF No. 18, attached).Defendant respectfully requests an adjournment of the July 22 conference because the undersigned counsel is scheduled to travel internationally for a family vacation between July 20- 24, 2021. The trip was scheduled around counsel's existing obligations.
Accordingly, if it would not inconvenience the Court, Defendant respectfully requests that the conference be rescheduled to a date prior to July 20, 2021, or a date after July 24, 2021. No previous adjournments of this, or any other conference in this case, have been sought.
Separately, we are preparing a response to the allegations in Mr. Blake's July 13, 2021 letter, which we intend to submit shortly.
Respectfully submitted, Martin S. Krezalek.
